Nigel Smith, Managing Partner of Ellis Jones Solicitors, said: “The Chancellor’s very welcome reforms of National Insurance have certainly grabbed the attention.
“Anything which reduces the burden of this ‘hidden tax’ is to be applauded, especially as the Chancellor has considered both the self-employed and employed.
“The introduction of changes on January 6 rather than in the new tax year in April will make an immediate impact on pay packets although some employers may need support or advice to help with implementation through their payroll.”
